My ABT610ESHB came with a bit of a backbow. After some truss rod adjustments to get rid of most of the buzz, the twelfth fret action is just below 2.5mm on the bass side and just above 2mm on the treble side.

I have it tuned B to B and there is still a bit of fret buzz on the 9th fret of the low B string. I used a credit card as a fret rocker and the frets seem level with each other in that area, so it appears the baritone needs either higher action or a bit more neck relief than I normally use.
